Today's episode is a Q&A with me, your host, Maddie Alm, registered dietitian and former professional runner. I answer questions that have been submitted to me by listeners, and today's questions include: I was told my cholesterol levels are high as a young high level runner and my doctor told me to remove several foods, what does this mean and what should I do? How do I fuel when returning from injury and manage the stress I feel about body changes? How long after waking up should I eat breakfast, and is it ok to have coffee first on an empty stomach? I'm a healthcare worker and sometimes my schedule doesn't allow for eating every 2-4 hours, do you have any suggestions on how to navigate this? I work long hours and am training for a marathon and struggle to find enough options to bring to work that don't require tons of prep, do you have any ideas?

This week's episode is a Q&A with me, your host, Maddie Alm, registered dietitian and former professional runner. In honor of it being National Nutrition Month and RD day, I start the episode by talking about the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist, and my journey to becoming a dietitian.
